The Master at Work

[user67765]

We caught the action on fifth street with Men "The Master" Nguyen betting out with {Q-Diamonds}

and his opponent made the call showing {K-Diamonds}

.

On sixth street Nguyen caught the {8-Clubs}

but was check-raised as his opponent received the {K-Clubs}

. Nguyen made the call.

On the river Nguyen's opponent bet again, but this time "The Master" announced a raise, which his opponent called.

Nguyen showed ( {8-Diamonds}

)

for a full house which was too good for his opponent's ( {A-Hearts}

)

for aces and kings.

"The Master" collects a nice pot to move to around 53,000 in chips and the tournament chip lead!

Erick Lindgren was visiting with Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu and they decided to have a little chat with Jerry Buss. They informed Buss that, "The Lakers have to win tomorrow." Apparently they all have a lot of money riding on the game.

Oppenheim Enjoying Massage

[user67765]

We don't have a clock on it, but we can't help but notice that David Oppenheim has been enjoying a rather lengthy massage. He's located right next to where we're based here in the Amazon Room, and our guess on the length of massage would so far be close to two hours...and counting!

Thor Gets Hammered

[user42991]

A three-way pot developed between Thor Hansen, Scott Fischman, and Chad Brown. On fifth street, the three players showed the following hands:

Hansen: {10-Diamonds}

Fischman:

Brown:

Fischman bet and both Hansen and Brown called. On sixth street, Hansen caught the {10-Spades}

, Fischman caught the {3-Diamonds}

, and Brown caught the {2-Spades}

. Fischman bet, Brown raised, Hansen call, and then Fischman three-bet. Both Brown and Hansen called the bet.

On the final card, Fischman bet, Brown raised, and Hansen folded. Fischman made the call. Brown showed {2-Hearts}

for deuces full. Fischman mucked.

After this hand Hansen was down to 2,000 in chips. The very next hand, Hansen was all in for his last 2,000. Unfortunately, Odin did not hear his prayers and Hansen was sent to the rail.
